Heh, the last time i had tourble upgrading via beyound compare was way back in the days of ubb 5

.

I wouldent recomend it to newbies, but you have to learn somehow, and i always found that i figure out how to fix things better AFTER i break them

Interesting suggestions here by Logician and others. Thanks much for helping us newbies, so that we can play a bit yet be safer not to do something totally wierdo and kill the board ! I know thats the last thing any owner of the vB would want to happen.

I have had beyond Compare for some time now, although used it rarely. I'll make sure to get used to that file compare application and learn to use it in a proper way.

Cheers

Also if you have the resources i'd reccomend araxis merge which i think can be found here:

www.araxis.com - it's more than worth the money and so easy to use

!

I actually prefer a clean start every time I upgrade. I make sure to click the install buttons here which gives me a list of all the hacks I have installed; so I don't forget the important ones when I upgrade.

But at upgrade time, I don't reinstall hacks that people didn't use a lot or hacks that I wasn't happy with for one reason or another.

I keep a list of priority hacks that have to go back in within the first hour after an upgrade and I start with those. Then, I typically wait a bit and make sure everything is running well and reinstall the members' favorites. I also usually add in one new hack right after upgrade to give the members something new to play with.

also a nice and good way amy, but it's hard to do it this way if you made slight modifications to files yourself without clarifying as a real hack

PurpleCow · #17 04-01-2003, 04:12 AM

@Amy ... I was thinking likewise.

I have installed only around 5 hacks now and yet to take my forums live, so i guess i'll upgrade to teh final now and reinstall the hacks... !

I have waited to final release 2.3.0, so that i can now work on installing major mods/hacks.luckily its out now.

Thanks much

Keep the suggestions coming.
